Meir Kay joins us to explore themes of spirituality, self-discovery, and the human experience within the complexities of faith, identity, and personal growth, while navigating life's uncertainties. He discusses the importance of embracing change, overcoming fear, and finding meaning in life's most difficult moments and reflects on the role of religion and tradition in shaping individual beliefs and values. Despite the tension between spiritual orthodoxy and personal autonomy, it is important to question and evolve one's faith in pursuit of authenticity and fulfillment while still staying focusing on the power of love, compassion, and connection in transcending boundaries and bridging divides and harness the transformative potential of vulnerability, empathy, and forgiveness in fostering deeper understanding and unity within ourselves and our communities.This conversation is a transformative journey of introspection, inspiration, and healing, serving as a reminder of the beauty and complexity of the human spirit and the profound power of love to illuminate even the darkest of times.About Meir: Meir Kay is a breathwork facilitator, Co-founder of Ahdama, a Jewish Men's Retreat and creator of the Kids Show “Mak and Friendz” and is on a mission to connect people with their hearts through various somatic and embodiment practices. Meir travels the world facilitating breathwork and ecstatic dance workshops.

In this episode, we discuss with him the life of his daughter Yocheved, her struggle with an eating disorder, depression, and her heartbreaking recent death.On December 22, 2020, Avremi's daughter Yocheved took her own life. Yocheved was a kind and thoughtful person. She was a top student and was in the process of applying to Ph.D. nursing programs. Posthumously, the family learned that she was accepted at Columbia University in their DNP program and on track to becoming a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. Unfortunately, her battle with mental illness raged, and she succumbed to it, not having fulfilled her dreams.This conversation is powerful and it gives me a lot of hope. Avremi is honest and authentic, and he doesn't hold back. The episode is intense and emotional and it's a very much-needed conversation that can be taboo in many circles. On that note, if you are struggling and/or know someone who is struggling never hesitate to reach out and check in with your friend, family, and/or neighbor.Dial the new suicide & crisis hotline at 988Thanks for tuning in to this episode with Avremi Gourarie.Connect with AvremiWebsiteInstagramFacebookYouTubeTwitterSayMazelTov is where you can request personalized videos from your favorite Jewish creators and inspiring thought leaders.

Rabbi Lazer Brody was born in Washington, D.C. in 1949. After receiving his bachelor's degree in agriculture from the University of Maryland in 1970, he moved to Israel and joined the Israel Defense Forces regular army, and served in one of the elite special-forces units. He is a decorated combat veteran of two wars and dozens of counter-insurgency and anti-terrorist missions on both sides of Israel's borders. After surviving a near-suicidal mission to Beirut during the Israel-Lebanon conflict of 1982, Brody could no longer ignore the hand of G-d in his life. He became a baal-tshuva and left his mountaintop farm to study Torah in Jerusalem. Nine years of intensive Talmudic, ethics, and legal studies, led to his rabbinical ordination in 1992. He devoted another two years of postgraduate study to personal and family counseling and subsequently spent two years as rabbi and spiritual rehabilitation director of a major Israeli prison. There, he created a highly successful program of spiritual rehabilitation for prisoners based on Tshuva. In 1996, Brody moved to Ashdod and became the understudy of the famed Melitzer Rebbe, a contemporary giant in rabbinical law and personal counseling. Today, Lazer Brody dedicates his time to Jewish Outreach, and particularly to spreading the teachings of Rebbe Nachman of Breslev around the globe.Committed to all of humanity, Rabbi Brody's blog posts, podcasts, and live Zoom lectures are free of charge, so that money is no barrier to the health and happiness that you yearn for.I love what Rabbi Brody is all about. I've read his work and I'm really, really excited to share with you our conversation in the following podcast.

And yet as the conversation progress, the interview gravitated into one of Jerry's coaching sessions. He just opened me up and I was able to become vulnerable and spoke on my doubts and fears.
